[SmackOrH.A.K]

[pete's montreux]

It's legit.

[PacerRaptor]

[Myth]

This one smells...someone else click it.

You made me paranoid, so I did a click google check and found this:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/2009/10/blake-griffin-nba-clippers.html

So yep, its true.

[vinsane01]

Ouch..WOuld have been fun seeing him against LA in opening night.

[nbastatus]

Wow... Is this suppose to be some kind of curse... Way to ruin Clippers perfect season. :banghead:

[purple8gold]

This blows. I just heard Stern on radio talking about the Clippers having so much bad luck. :wtf:

Holy Curse of the Clippers

[Lyin]

So who's gonna get a lot of mins to replace him?

[Myth]

I feel for you Clipper fans. Imagine how us Portland fans felt when Greg suddenly had MF surgery.

[PaperClip]

So who's gonna get a lot of mins to replace him?

Craig Smith & Brian Skinner (*puke*)

[JordanL]

:banghead:

Dammit... Why can't the Clips have anything go their way?

[barbaroi]

Clippers curse alive and well.

[Lebron23]

That sucks.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

damn. Clippers can't catch a break

[chazzy]

It was just a matter of time.. I said it in a different thread, his reckless style of play and the fact that he plays for the Clippers made him, to me, the player most likely to get injured this season.

[1987_Lakers]

Bill Simmons called it.

[DuMa]

completely amazing how bad the clippers' luck is

[G.O.A.T]

Bill Simmons called it.

Sure did, how about those Clippers.

Blake should demand a trade right now.

[Phong]

Nobody dunks on Mbenga without paying a hefty price. :pimp:

[john_d]

bill f***cking simons lolz...

i remember posting that article here on ISH.. few months back.

this sucks :((

[Hiei]

Clippers are going to get rolled tomorrow.

And so the Clipper Curse begins again. I feel bad for any legit Clipper fans. Seems to have bad luck again, and again, and again, and again...

Dear Blake,

Run. Just start running. Run for your life. Run like the star of a horror movie. Don't turn around. Run and keep running.



I think you should play in Greece. Or Italy. Or Spain. Or anywhere else. You should play anywhere but for the Clippers. Your agents and advisors are in denial. They don't want you to seem like an ungrateful jerk. They want you to be as marketable and likable as possible. They have talked themselves into the following scenario: "If Blake can turn the Clippers around and become a star in the No. 2 TV market in the country, only good things will happen to him." What a dick.

[Meticode]

What a dick.

It's true really though. :oldlol:

[kumquat]

Man I knew the clippers should have drafted errrrrr Hasheem Thabeet. That guy is a franchise center right there!

[Meticode]

Man I knew the clippers should have drafted errrrrr Hasheem Thabeet. That guy is a franchise centre right there!

He would have broke his arm probably. It's not the player, it's the franchise. Cursed!

[Ian]

What a kick in the pants to Clipper nation.

This is depressing even for me. I just wanted to watch the kid play. Man...

[Darkthug]

A bust, just as I predicted in another thread. :applause:

[oh the horror]

A bust, just as I predicted in another thread. :applause:



So you've predicted his entire career....not based on his fantastic showing thus far, but based off of one injury thus far? Shut up dude, seriously. Go be negative in your own house.

[brantonli]

Argg! My perfect fantasy team....I mean, oh no! Poor Clippers!

[Lyin]

Clippers should leave L.A. Get a fresh start.

[G.O.A.T]

Clippers should leave L.A. Get a fresh start.

The curse has already follwed them from Buffalo to Sand Diego to LA...

[dab0yech0]

So who's gonna get a lot of mins to replace him?

Craig Smith and DeAndre Jordan. Camby isn't ready because of his ankle yet so it looks like we will have to rotate with Kaman, Camby, Smith, and Brian SKinner.

[oh the horror]

Thats a shame too. He was doing so well, had a nice little stride going into the regular season. This is just a setback and now dude needs to work himself in all over again.

[Lebron23]

A bust, just as I predicted in another thread. :applause:


STFU

[dab0yech0]

Bill Simmons called it.

I was reading that column the other day and I was pissed as soon as I came across it because I knew it was gonna happen

[winningfreak]

I was sitting court side right where he dunked it it was amazing (2 second row right beside the basket of the dunk )


http://www.nba.com/video/games/clippers/2009/10/23/0010900115_noh_lac_3play.nba/



he played the rest of the game so I dunno whats up with this 6 week crap.

[Al Thornton]

6 weeks is exaggerating Blake is a warrior, he'll be back in a week or two, it didn't look that serious CRAIG SMITH DOMINATE

[ZeN]

A bust, just as I predicted in another thread. :applause:


DIE

[qrich]

Sucks, but it says up to 6 weeks and the people overreacting here is crazy. Regardles, this opens up plenty of time for Jordan and Rhino, both of which had solid preseason showings, and will give Thornton some time at the 4, where he plays much better as opposed to the 3. Only thing that bothers me about the injury is the fact we are going to wait longer to see Blake out there with the core players and chemistry might be a challange as a result.

[Waking_Life]

The team is well balanced this season around. They will have a better situation to hang on, regardless of injuries befalling.

[RoseCity07]

Wow this is horrible news. Believe me, I know what it feels like to get injury news on a player.

Stress fractures are scary. It can take months to heal. Martell Webster missed a whole season. Yao is suppose to miss his whole season.

I really hope it's not that bad. I hope this isn't just a conservative estimate. That it really will only take 6 weeks.

[momo]

A bust, just as I predicted in another thread. :applause:

Yea, you bad. You bad.

Actually, why not produce said thread bish?

For real, tho, this is freeking sad. I wanted so badly for this thread to be a prank.

[oh the horror]

What gets me is how anyone can be happy about this. Dude is all geeked because he predicted blake to be a bust, and is all smug about it.....what type of people on these boards celebrate player injuries?


You want to be "right" so badly, that this is something you gloat about? Jesus christ.

[LAClipsFan33]

Got F*ckin Daaaaamnit

I think Oden taught us the answer is "most of them".

[Laker4Lyfe]

Tell me about it. This f*ckin SUCKS!!!! :rant:rant

[went_worth]

Tough luck for the Clipps. :hammerhead:

[HiphopRelated]

that's how 6 weeks becomes 6 months

[snipes12]

the clippers name itself is a curse. they should change it by next season

[All Net]

Sucks

Was looking forward to watching him tonight.

[RedBagel]

Wow that sucks. Will Blake play tonight?

[hawkfan]

Traditional Clipper bad luck.

This is a cursed franchise.

[Waking_Life]

Wow that sucks. Will Blake play tonight?


wtf are you serious???

[Chuck Thou NBA]

Clipper nation... move the **** out of LA. Change your team name. Get a new owner. Because in LA, you can't win! That would be a sin!

Remember that Charlie Shean (forgot how to write his last name)movie with the Cleaveland Indians? That's the equivalent of the Clippers.

[RedBagel]

wtf are you serious???

Well he's out up to 6 weeks, but it didn't say starting when.

[Se]

Clippers curse alive and well.

That's right. They should have traded the pick anyway and moved the team to Las Vegas.

[TheAnchorman]

You're joking but you're not... half of my night is somewhat ruined that I was really looking forward to seeing him play. Jesus Christ.

[highwhey]

wow, was looking forward to blake vs amar'e tommorow...

[TheGreatDeraj]

...and opening night just got less interesting. Too bad for the clippers, but lets not pretend they still don't have the talent to compete and make the playoffs without Griffin for 6 weeks.


Yea, you bad. You bad.

Clipper Nation? wtf.. like there is a choice in were the team resides? If I had it my way they would return to san diego and allow them to have their own identity and a fresh start. but with Don at the helm, no freakin' way he leaves the cushie large market that is LA. Not to mention that they just got for the first time a decent television agreement.

[Waking_Life]

mine also.. lakers vs. clippers waz my dream open night, now its been tamed a bit..

[A.M.G.]

Do Clippers fans walk around spitting on gypsies and disturbing Indian burial grounds? Does Donald Sterling just have a giant room in his mansion full of black cats that he repeatedly crosses paths with? HOw is it possible that this franchise doesn't just have bad luck, but seems to lack anything resembling luck?

Haha! Maybe there's a ladder hiding behind the entrance to their practice facility. It also doesn't help that Chris Kaman breaks every mirror he looks into.

[Waking_Life]

Well he's out up to 6 weeks, but it didn't say starting when.


unfreakin'believable

[ProfessorMurder]

Sam Bowie? :confusedshrug:

Griffin's already had 3 injuries since signing with the team.

Its a big market, but do the Clippers sell any tickets? Why would anyone in their right mind want to be a Clippers fan when you have the Lakers in the same city... same arena!

I wish Stern could make terrible owners sell... like we can have a fan vote, and league vote. If the owner doesn't agree, don't show up to games!

[bomber]

#1 picks not named Dwight or Lebron have been cursed this past decade.

[PleezeBelieve]

Dude 'Livingston' himself. Broke his kneecap on a dunk attempt in the preseason?

Seriously?

[beasted86]

6 weeks is exaggerating Blake is a warrior, he'll be back in a week or two, it didn't look that serious CRAIG SMITH DOMINATE
:banghead:

[RedBagel]

unfreakin'believable

I know, right? They should tell us what six weeks he'll be out. How are we supposed to know?

[Waking_Life]

sure lets make it six weeks in july.. :oldlol:

[RedBagel]

sure lets make it six weeks in july.. :oldlol:

That would make more sense. Then he can play the whole season.

[Ol Dirty Bastard]

I dont understand why he was playing? wasnt he already hurt before the preseason?

I blame Dunleavy

[intrinsic]

Why would anyone want to be a Clipper fan? They're still an NBA team no matter the perception. Sure there aren't any titles, but that doesn't mean there's no reason to watch.
-When I've been in Los Angeles it was a common thing to score Clipper tickets on the day of game for pennies on the dollar.
-Following the career of Danny Manning was a treat for any fan of the game.
-Sterling's business philosophy is changing over recent years: Magette and Brand retained as RFA, the Baron Davis Contract, Kaman's extension when the coach was publicly campaigning for it, and the attempt to retain Brand in the summer of 2008.
-Ralph Lawler. A broadcasting style all his own, and any description I could offer just wouldn't do him justice. I'd recommend catching his work while the NBA league pss is free.
-Blake Griffin injury. This is basketball; players get injured.
-How can you blame the Clips for a "bust" like Darius Miles? He was an exciting player to watch while he was here, but how many other organizations had a chance to turn him around?

Edit: meant Sterling*

[Mr. Obvious]

The Clippers are cursed.

I guess this means Gordon & Thornton can inflate their stats some more.

[cotdt]

As a resident of LA my whole life, if the Lakers didn't exist, I would be crying right now.

[Kiddlovesnets]

curse the Clippers...

This is for you, BGriffin's Dad.
